The Straight Horned Baboon Tarantula, known scientifically as Ceratogyrus Marshalli, is a remarkable and distinctive species within the tarantula community. This species is particularly known for its unique physical characteristic: a straight, horn-like projection on its carapace. Native to southern Africa, the Straight Horned Baboon Tarantula is a part of the 'Old World' tarantulas, recognized for their more potent venom and defensive nature. The species displays a color palette typically consisting of earthy browns and grays, aiding in camouflage in its natural habitat. Due to their temperament, they are more suited to experienced tarantula keepers.
Origin:
Ceratogyrus Marshalli is native to southern Africa, particularly adapted to dry and semi-arid regions. They are often found in burrows, which they construct in the ground.
Temperature:
The ideal temperature range for this species is between 75-85°F (24-29°C), with a humidity level of around 40-50%. These conditions mimic the drier climates of their natural habitats.
Housing:
A terrarium for a Straight Horned Baboon should include a deep substrate for burrowing, as they are a fossorial species. The enclosure should also provide hiding places and a water dish. It's important to ensure the enclosure is secure, as tarantulas can be escape artists.
Feeding:
Their diet typically consists of insects such as crickets, roaches, and mealworms. Feeding should be done once or twice a week, adjusting based on the tarantula's size and appetite.
Lifespan:
In captivity, Straight Horned Baboon Tarantulas can live for several years, with females generally outliving males. Proper care and a suitable environment can significantly contribute to their longevity.
Behavior and Personality:
Ceratogyrus Marshalli is known for its defensive behavior and can be quick to show aggression when threatened. They are not recommended for handling due to their quick reflexes and the potency of their venom.

Absolutely delighted with this David Austin Rose that I bought from Newlands I ordered it online and it arrived safely in great health and speedy delivery!I’m very happy as it arrived with 10 buds very excited to see them bloom
Love this strawberry pot - made one up for my daughter’s patio and didn’t want to give it to her in the end (I did ) because the strawberries were doing so well in it
Delighted with my new Q3000 series grate and I should have purchased it much sooner. It has transformed my 15 year old Weber!! Excellent service from Newlands.
I purchased two Princess Kate clematis and they arrived quickly in perfect condition. They had been soaked before shipping which was perfect because I was worried about the recent hot weather. Both plants have continued to grow well after planting.
Working perfectly. Killed weeds and roots after one spray.
Such a wonderful gift. Stunning, vibrant and very much appreciated l!
A wonderful gift for a special gardener in my life. She’s been able to purchase some lovely colour to add to her already gorgeous garden. Thank you for making the purchase of a meaningful gift so easy!
I cannot rate Newlands highly enough. Their service is extremely efficient. The odd time there is a problem with an order, they will resolve it quickly by phone and email. Their customer service is impressive. The plants are dispatched quickly, and the packaging even on large orders is of excellent quality with reasonable shipping costs. They should be taken as a model for all Irish businesses.
